I could not really decide which one to read first but then I went with the cover that was on top when I unpacked the book after it had arrived. Anyway, I loved the story of the Stag weekend. When I read the Hen weekend afterwards it filled some gaps and offered some explanations and background but I agree that it was a little boring occassionally. When I read the book I was constantly wondering how the process of writing was for Mike Gayle, did he write the two stories simultaneously or completely independently? I would really love to know. I must say that I have read all of Mike Gayle's books and can only recommend them, especially if you like the Stag weekend. I would not compare The Hen weekend to his other works, it is a little different.Petranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444796916325633179.post-24667923421285419832012-02-10T18:37:24.592+00:002012-02-10T18:37:24.592+00:00This sounds like a couple of books I read as a tee...This sounds like a couple of books I read as a teenager (one was called watching me, watching you but I can't remember what the other was). Both told the same story but from the male/female point of view. You could read one then flip it over to read the other. I can't remember them having unclarified endings though (that would bother me too).Jennifer Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285381115807201869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1444796916325633179.post-70439437017387146922012-02-10T14:02:10.395+00:002012-02-10T14:02:10.395+00:00Well, this actually isn't an original idea.
